Great Tit in Flight
Still working with the birds at the feeders & this is one just before the second belt of snow came.
I am trying to include a bit more habitat and the hardest thing with flash is to replicate daylight, I hope I have achieved it in this image.
d mk2
100mm lens
high speed flash at 1/20,000 sec
Merry Christmas to you all.

Nice bird, Dale. I've hardly ever seen an avian image shot using flash that looks like natural light. This is pretty close. The right branch shadow is a giveaway. Still, excellent image!
